I feel like when people hear 'ultra-processed plant origin foods' people are thinking stuff like Beyond/Impossible meat, but really this study is saying people who eat lots of bread and confectionaries (by far the highest source of UPF in this study) have higher cardiovascular risk.

- jfoster 2y agoThe participants of the study were recruited between 2009 - 2012, before most fake meat was a thing. Presumably it will get its own category in some future studies. The other interesting thing is that soft drinks & confectionary were in the same category as packaged breads/buns. Are they so similar in terms of nutrition?
